[ESMA 70-872942901-36 Commodity derivatives Q&A, Q&A 4.20]
Positions in daily or weekly contracts whose delivery period is completely included in the spot month should be reported as spot month positions ('SPOT').
Positions in weekly contracts whose delivery period is not completely included in the spot month, i.e. weekly contracts that straddle the spot month and other months, should be reported as other months’ positions ('OTHR').
Positions in quarterly or annual contracts whose delivery period straddles the spot month and other months should also be reported as other months’ positions ('OTHR').
